When it comes to fast-food sandwiches, Subway is king. In fact, the company has more than 44,000 locations in more than 100 countries around the world. The Subway menu offers a wide array of choices for all palates and dietary preferences, with breakfast options, sandwiches, sides and desserts.
Although menu items may vary from store to store, Subway publishes standardized nutrition information for its entire menu, including sandwiches, bread, condiments and vegetables and breakfast, desserts, sides and salads.
Calories are just one of the 16 categories of nutrition information supplied for each item. Here’s a breakdown of some of the most popular items, as well as how customizing your order affects the nutritional information.
Subway Sandwich Menu Nutrition
No doubt the most popular offerings are the sub sandwiches. The Subway sandwich menu has 15 options to choose from, with varied calorie counts, fats, carbohydrates and protein. Here are your best bets, organized from least to most calories.
- Veggie Delite (230 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 44 grams of carbohydrates, nine grams of protein)
- Turkey Breast (280 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 46 grams of carbohydrates, 18 grams of protein)

- Chicken & Bacon Ranch Melt (590 calories, 30 grams of fat, 44 grams of carbohydrates, 37 grams of protein)
According to Christy Brissette, RD, president of 80 Twenty Nutrition, her go-to Subway sandwich choice is the Rotisserie-Style Chicken. “The chicken in this sandwich is raised without antibiotics,” she told Women’s Health, “and it’s all white meat, so it’s low in fat. Plus, with five grams of fiber and 29 grams of protein, I’m fuller for longer.”
And as far as your worst options at Subway, LIVESTRONG.COM’s Jess Barron recommends steering clear of the Turkey Italiano Melt, Spicy Italian and the Italian B.M.T.
Calories in Subway Bread
The great thing about the Subway menu is that you can customize your sandwich to your dietary needs. You’ll start building your sandwich with a choice of bread.
There are 13 options to choose from, along with two flatbreads and two wraps, all of which can be incorporated into a Subway sandwich menu item of your choice. Take note of the following list, with the lowest calorie options right up front:

While the Mini Italian and Mini Wheat choices are the lowest calorie, you can also consider having just half of the more caloric bread options and saving the rest for later.

Below are your five best and five worst options at Subway. Note that the following Subway salad nutrition components do not include the addition of dressings.
5 Best Salads at Subway
- Veggie Delite Salad (60 calories, one gram of fat, 11 grams of carbohydrates, three grams of protein)
- Turkey Breast Salad (110 calories, two grams of fat, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 12 grams of protein)
- Black Forest Ham Salad (110 calories, three grams of fat, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 12 grams of protein)

5 Worst Salads at Subway
- Chicken & Bacon Ranch Salad (540 calories, 40 grams of fat, 15 grams of carbohydrates, 32 grams of protein)
- Meatball Marinara Salad (310 calories, 17 grams of fat, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of protein)

- Italian B.M.T. Salad (230 calories, 15 grams of fat, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 14 grams of protein)
Nutritionist Brigitte Zeitlin, RD, reccomends the Oven Roasted Chicken at 150 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 13 grams of carbohydrates and 17 grams of protein.
“The lean protein from the chicken helps keep you satiated, but don’t skimp on the veggie base!” she told Women’s Health. “Add mozzarella cheese for a bit more flavor and protein, but skip other toppings, which tend to just add sugar and sodium. Dress it with one to two tablespoons of red wine vinegar instead.”
Comparing the best Subway salad choice to the worst in terms of exercise, according to LIVESTRONG.COM’s food database MyPlate, it would take you just 13 minutes of walking at 3.5 miles per hour to burn off your 60-calorie Veggie Delite Salad, but nearly two hours of walking at that same speed to burn off the 540-calorie Chicken & Bacon Ranch Salad.
